1 Operating System and Command
Line Basics
Using the Command Modes
Configuring Multiple Ports at the Same Time
Saving Your Configuration

ExtremeSwitching 210 and 220 Series switches run the 200 Series Operating System. You can interact
with the operating system through a web browser, using the web user interface, or through a CLI
(command-line interface).

Note
200 Series Operating System commands are different from those used in ExtremeXOS, EOS,
and ExtremeWare.

The topics in this section cover basic techniques to help you become comfortable using the 200 Series
Operating System CLI to perform basic common and configuration tasks.

For detailed information about using the 200 Series Operating System, refer to the following
publications:
• ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Administration Guide
• ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Command Reference Guide

Using the Command Modes

The CLI (command-line interface) groups commands into modes according to the command function.
Each of the command modes supports specific 200 Series software commands. The commands in one
mode are not available until you switch to that particular mode, with the exception of the User EXEC
mode commands. You can execute the User EXEC mode commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.

The command prompt changes in each command mode to help you identify the current mode. Table 1
lists some of the most commonly used command-mode prompts. For information about other
command modes, see ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Command Reference Guide.

Table 1: Commonly Used CLI Command Modes

Command Mode Prompt Mode Description
User EXEC Extreme nnn> Contains a limited set of commands to view basic
system information.
Privileged EXEC Extreme nnn# Allows you to issue any EXEC command, enter
the VLAN mode, or enter the Global Configuration
mode.

1/0/1 and 1/0/3.
• Extreme nnn (Interface
1/0/1-1/0/4) # manages the range of
interfaces from 1/0/1 through 1/0/4.

Extreme nnn (Interface vlan vlan-id)# Enters VLAN routing interface configuration mode
for the specified VLAN ID.
Stack Global Extreme nnn (Config stack)# Allows you to access the Stack Global Config
Config Mode Mode.

Table 2 describes how to access each of the common command modes. For information about

mode, enter logout.

Configuring Multiple Ports at the Same Time

In the 200 Series CLI (command-line interface), you can configure multiple ports using just one
command. You do this by specifying either a list or a range of port numbers.

Specifying a List of Ports

To specify a list of ports, enter two or more interfaces in unit/slot/port format, separated by commas.

In the following example, the ports at 1/0/1 and 1/0/10 are added to LAG 1.

(Extreme 220) >enable

(Extreme 220) #configure
(Extreme 220) (Config) #interface 1/0/1,1/0/10
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/1,1/0/10) #addport lag 1

Specifying a Range of Ports

To specify a range of ports, enter two interfaces in unit/slot/port format, separated by a hyphen (-).

In the following example, all ports between 1/0/1 and 1/0/10, inclusive, are added to LAG 2.

(Extreme 220) >enable

(Extreme 220) #configure
(Extreme 220) (Config) #interface 1/0/1-1/0/10
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/1-1/0/10) #addport lag 2

2 Configuring the Service (Network
Management) Port
Configuring the Service Port Using the Command-Line Interface
Configuring the Service Port Using the Web Interface

The service port, or network management port, is a dedicated Ethernet port used for managing the 200
Series switch out-of-band.

By default, the 200 Series software expects the service port to have a DHCP address. There is no VLAN
associated with the service port.

To configure the service port on a 200 Series switch, follow either of these procedures:
• Configuring the Service Port Using the Command-Line Interface on page 10
• Configuring the Service Port Using the Web Interface on page 10

Configuring the Service Port Using the Command-Line Interface

To configure the service port, or network management port, on a 200 Series switch using the
command-line interface, follow these steps:

1 Log on to the switch.

2 Enter enable to access Privileged EXEC mode.
3 Enter the command serviceport protocol none.
The system prompts you for confirmation:

Changing protocol mode will reset ip configuration.

Are you sure you want to continue? (y/n)
4 Enter y in response to the prompt.
5 Define the service port by entering the command serviceport ip ipaddr netmask
gateway.
Where:
• ipaddr is the IP address of the interface.
• netmask is the subnet mask for the interface.
• gateway is the default gateway for the interface.

The service port is ready for use.

Configuring the Service Port Using the Web Interface

To configure the service port, or network management port, on a 200 Series switch using the web

3 Setting the Management IP
Address
Setting the Management IP Address Using the Command-Line Interface
Setting the Management IP Address Using the Web Interface

The management interface is the logical interface that allows remote management of the switch using
any of its front-panel ports.

To enable management of the switch over an IPv4 network by using a web browser, SNMP, Telnet, or
SSH, you must first configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. The configuration
parameters associated with the network interface do not affect the configuration of the front-panel
ports through which traffic is switched or routed.

By default, the 200 Series software expects the management interface to have a DHCP address and to
be associated with VLAN 1.

To configure the management IP address on a 200 Series switch, follow either of these procedures:
• Setting the Management IP Address Using the Command-Line Interface on page 12
• Setting the Management IP Address Using the Web Interface on page 13

Setting the Management IP Address Using the Command-Line

Interface
To configure the management IP address on a 200 Series switch using the command-line interface,
follow these steps:

1 Log on to the switch.

2 In Privileged EXEC mode, enter the command network protocol none.
The system prompts you for confirmation:

Changing protocol mode will reset ip configuration.

Are you sure you want to continue? (y/n)
3 Enter y in response to the prompt.
4 Define the IPv4 network connectivity by entering the command network parms ipaddr
netmask gateway.
Where:
• ipaddr is the IP address of the interface.
• netmask is the subnet mask for the interface.
• gateway is the default gateway for the interface.
5 Define the management VLAN by entering the command network management_vlan
vlan_id.
Where vlan_id is the VLAN identifier – a number between 1 and 4093.

ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Initial Configuration and Setup 12

 Setting the Management IP Address

The switch's management IP address is set.

Setting the Management IP Address Using the Web Interface

To configure the management IP address on a 200 Series switch using the web interface, follow these
steps:

1 Log on to the switch using your web browser.

2 Open the IPv4 Network Connectivity page: System > Connectivity > IPv4.
3 Define IPv4 connectivity:
a In the Network Configuration Protocol field, click None.
b In the following fields, supply the appropriate values for the interface:
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
• Management VLAN ID (the default value is 1)
c In the rest of the fields, accept the default values.

Figure 2: Fields for Setting the Management IP Address

4 Click Submit.

The switch's management IP address is set.

ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Initial Configuration and Setup 13

4 Configuring a Switch with an
Untagged VLAN for Access Ports
Follow the steps below to configure a 200 Series switch with an untagged VLAN for access ports.

The same configuration can be used for either native or untagged VLANs, on either uplink or ISL ports.

Note that each port can have only one PVID (untagged VLAN) assigned at a time.

1 Log on to the switch.

2 Enter enable to access Privileged EXEC mode.
3 Create a VLAN in the VLAN database.
For example:

(Extreme 220) #vlan database

(Extreme 220) (Vlan)#vlan 999
(Extreme 220) (Vlan)#exit
4 Enter Global Config mode and go into the port you want to configure.
For example:

(Extreme 220) #configure

(Extreme 220) (Config) #interface 1/0/2
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #vlan pvid 999
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #vlan participation include 999
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #exit
(Extreme 220) (Config) #exit
(Extreme 220) #write memory confirm

Note
Optionally, you can also set VLANs to untagged using the switchport access mode option,
which works in the same way as the previous example:

(Extreme 220) #config

(Extreme 220) (Config) #interface 1/0/2
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #switchport mode access
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #switchport access vlan 999
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #exit
(Extreme 220) (Config) #exit

5 Save your configuration.

See Saving Your Configuration on page 9.

For information about VLAN tagging, see Configuring a Switch for VLAN Tagging and Trunking on page
15.

To configure a range or list of ports, see Configuring Multiple Ports at the Same Time on page 8.

ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Initial Configuration and Setup 14

5 Configuring a Switch for VLAN
Tagging and Trunking
Follow the steps below to configure a 200 Series switch for VLAN tagging or trunking on uplink or
downlink interfaces.

1 Log on to the switch.

2 Enter enable to access Privileged EXEC mode.
3 Create one or more VLANs in the VLAN database.
For example:

(Extreme 220) #vlan database

(Extreme 220) (Vlan)#vlan 10,20,30
(Extreme 220) (Vlan)#exit
4 Enter Global Config mode and enable trunk mode on the interface.
For example:

(Extreme 220) #configure

(Extreme 220) (Config) #interface 1/0/2
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #vlan tagging 10,20,30
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #vlan participation include 10,20,30
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #exit
(Extreme 220) (Config) #exit

Note
Optionally, you can also configure VLANs tagging by using the trunk mode option, which
works in the same way as the previous example:

(Extreme 220) #config

(Extreme 220) (Config) #interface 1/0/2
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #switchport mode trunk
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #switchport trunk allowed vlan 10
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #switchport trunk allowed vlan add 20.30
(Extreme 220) (Interface 1/0/2) #exit
(Extreme 220) (Config) #exit
(Extreme 220) #write memory confirm

5 Save your configuration.

See Saving Your Configuration on page 9.

For information about configuring your switch with an untagged VLAN, see Configuring a Switch with
an Untagged VLAN for Access Ports on page 14.

To configure a range or list of ports, see Configuring Multiple Ports at the Same Time on page 8.

To view all ports on a switch issue the command show port all.

ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Initial Configuration and Setup 15

6 Configuring SNMPv3
To configure SNMPv3 on a 200-Series switch, follow these steps.

1 Log on to the switch.

2 Enter enable to access Privileged EXEC mode.
3 Create an SNMPv3 access group.
For example:

(Extreme 220) (Config)#snmp-server group group-name v3 priv read Default write Default
notify Default

This command creates an SNMPv3 access group that can be accessed only when using both
authentication and encryption (priv operand).

The command specifies a default view, which includes the whole SNMP tree, for GET requests, SET
requests, and traps (read, write, and notify operands, respectively). You can configure your
own views using the snmp-server view command.
4 Define an SNMPv3 user for accessing the system.
For example:

(Extreme 220) (Config)#snmp-server user user-name group-name auth-sha auth_pasword priv-

des priv_pasword

This command defines a user for the group you defined in step 3 on page 16. The user name you
select must match a user name configured on the SNMP server.

In this example, a SHA-1 password is defined (auth-sha operand); alternatively, you can use MD5
authentication (auth-md5 operand).

A DES password is also defined for encryption (priv-des operand). AES encryption is not
available.

The SNMPv3 group is ready for use.

ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Initial Configuration and Setup 16

7 Configuring LLDP
To configure LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) on a 200-Series switch, follow these steps.

1 Log on to the switch.

2 Enter enable to access Privileged EXEC mode.
3 Enter interface unit/slot/port to access Interface Config mode – for example,
interface 1/0/1.
4 Using a series of lldp transmit-tlv commands, define the type length values (TLVs) that will
be transmitted in the LLDP data units (LLDPDUs) from an interface or range of interfaces.
For example:

(Extreme 220)(Interface 1/0/1) #lldp transmit-tlv port-desc

(Extreme 220)(Interface 1/0/1) #lldp transmit-tlv sys-name
(Extreme 220)(Interface 1/0/1) #lldp transmit-tlv sys-desc
(Extreme 220)(Interface 1/0/1) #lldp transmit-tlv sys-cap

In this example, the following TLVs will be included in each LLDPDU:

• port-desc: port description
• sys-name: system name
• sys-desc: system description
• sys-cap: system capabilities
5 Issue the command lldp transmit-mgmt so that local system management address
information will be included in the LLDPDUs.
6 Issue the command lldp portid-subtype interface-name so that local system
management address information will be included in the LLDPDUs.
This command causes the switch to send the local port ID (for example, 1/0/1) in the LLDPDU,
rather than sending the switch's MAC address. (The command default, lldp portid-subtype
mac-address, is typically not what you want.)
7 Issue the command show voice vlan interface all to verify that output is displayed in
the correct format.

8 Configuring PoE
The following steps will help you optimize the Power over Ethernet (PoE) configuration for supporting
wireless devices, such as access points (APs).

Your 200 Series switch supports the following standards:

• Dot3af (low power) and legacy support
• Dot3at (high power) applications
• Flexible Power Management:
• Power reservation
• Power prioritization
• Power limiting

Using your switch's PoE features, you can:

• Provide power to requesting devices attached directly to the switch.
• Disable some or all PoE ports from delivering power.
• Manage the amount of power that can be delivered on a PoE port.
• View the electrical measurements and power delivery status of the PoE ports.
• Restore PoE ports to normal state when they are in a fault state.

To optimize the PoE configuration, follow these steps:

1 To begin, find the switch's power budget.

In the navigation menu, click System > PoE > Configuration.

Figure 3: PoE Configuration Display

In this example, the total power budget – marked by the arrow – is 185000 mw.

Note
You can view the same information in the command-line interface, using the show poe
command. There, the output is displayed as follows:
Total Power Available: WATTS I.E. 185 W

ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Initial Configuration and Setup 18

 Configuring PoE

2 When you know the power budget, determine the power requirements for the devices you want to
add.
For example:
• AF Power = 12.95 W
• AT Power = 25.5 W
If the total wattage required exceeds what is available, some of the devices will require power from
external sources – for example, from the RPS-500p Redundant Power Supply.
3 Click the Port Configuration tab.
4 Select only the ports connected to devices that will require PoE, as shown in this example.

Figure 4: PoE Port Configuration Display

5 Click Edit.
6 In the Edit PoE Port Configuration window, set the priority to High for the wireless devices.

Figure 5: Edit PoE Port Configuration Window

7 Click Submit to save your configuration.

8 To reboot a wireless device, disable PoE to the port. Wait about 10 seconds, then re-enable PoE.
